Chatabix

It’s been a long old run up, but it’s finally Joe’s 50th Birthday and to celebrate, David and TV Joe have something very special planned for him. This is all a complete surprise to Joe though, as he thinks he’s just playing a little quiz with David. So stay tuned to find out what it’s all about and what on earth an ‘Audio Bag’ is. David and TV Joe have three of them to go through - so it’s definit...

Joe’s looking after his friend’s dog Barney, so kicks off today’s show by introducing him to David - and they all get on wonderfully. Then, after some chat about broken Americana session cassettes, David buying a shed and sharing office space with a pottery wheel, it’s onto the main topic of the show. David’s invented a quiz where he and Joe will try to guess the dates of old Chatabix episodes - w...

For this week's vault show, it’s right back to episode four of the pod. We chat about realising that we're bantering, middle names, our female versions and the sport of boxing.

Today’s Mailbag (now with added sound effects) has messages about after-pod debriefs, some Judy Dench and Noel Edmonds trivia, a very experienced gameshow contestant, Ground Force, a Film & TV location manager and then a whole load of very impressive stories about quipping. What better way to kick off your weekend! FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtub...

Picking up from yesterday’s cliffhanger, David and Joe are now gonna play their ‘Idea Cards Game’ - where they randomly pick a conversation topic from the writing prompt boards they both have on their walls. So, amongst other subjects, you can expect some high calibre chat about old flats, very strange neighbours, broken bones and finally hoarding - which leads onto a very deep dive into David’s A...

Joe’s come up with a game called Podmasters, where the contestant is played up to 10 seconds from a top 50 iTunes Comedy Chart show and has to guess which one it is. There are various other rules and point scoring possibilities, but we won't go into all those now as they get quite convoluted. More importantly, guess who the first contestant is going to be? Buckle up David, this is going to be one...

David’s got a snotty cold so doesn’t have much to offer today. But thankfully, Joe went on a baking course over the weekend, which Petra had bought him as a Christmas present. So he’s happy to take the reins for the episode and tell David everything about it. But they also stumble across a few bad reviews of the pod - so we’ll have to wait and see if that knocks Joe’s confidence with his story tel...

In this 2022 episode from our archives, we talk about personal trainers, clever lightbulbs and cricket. Plus, the very moment that Canal Thursdays was created, no less.

In today’s selection of emails from our lovely listeners, there messages about someone’s top 50 episodes of Chatabix, a joke about a dog, a reminder about House Snoopers, a shy show-off, a lot of arthritis, meeting Bella Emberg, David getting a dog and the long awaited return of Pyramind.

As talked about recently on the pod, Joe has organised the latest activity for his Mystery Meet Up mates - which is indoor rock climbing at their local leisure centre. With that now completed, today he gives David the full run down of how it all went and also gets some live feedback from one the other attendees on what they thought of it. So, was it the huge success that he’d hoped for - or just a...

After putting off watching it for a while, Joe has just discover the joys of The Great Pottery Throw Down. So, re-invigorated by this news, David tries once again to work out if he’d be any good at presenting the show. And as luck would have it, he’s also been contacted recently by one of the executive produces of the show after they heard him and Joe discussing it on the pod. Could David be one s...

To kick things off, David starts to recount a walk he went on recently from Bolt Head to South Sands. But try as he might to be enthusiastic with his story-telling, it’s not long before he loses interest and they decide to roll the dice on some other conversation topics. First up from Joe is that he’s organising his next Mystery Meet Up event and has chosen rock climbing. It just so happens that D...

It’s vault time again! And in this one, we talk about the same old bollocks again. Apologies.

This week, we’ve a couple of emails from gameshow winners, a suggestion of a haunted place for Joe to visit, tales of serving fish and chips to a rock legend and a whole host of other local celebrity stories. Plus, a message from our old friend the Heart Attack man, a quip report, a public telling off and an impression of Andy Parsons. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: h...

On today’s show, David has two ideas that he hopes will make for a great episode. Firstly he reads an email from a listener who, off the back of some medical problems, made a very risky quip to his doctor. Joe is suitably impressed and reckons it's one of the best quips he’s ever heard. Then secondly, David wants to know if Joe is pleased and thankful for his career - and asks him to congratulate...

It’s time to wheel out the spiny chair again and for one of our hosts to get all nervous with anticipation. This time it’s David in the hot seat, as Joe’s lined up brilliant surprise guest for him. And here’s a little clue - they’re very handy and we’ve mentioned them on the pod many times before. Who could it be????

Today’s episode is a bit of a Crimewatch special. Joe explains why he recently had to call the Police, David researches some tourist scams and pickpocketing techniques and they then both recount the times that they’ve been mugged, both in the UK and whilst away on holiday. So after all that, they decide it’s time to lighten the mood with an ad hoc gameshow - and this one’s all about remembering th...

Another episode straight from the Chatabix vaults and in this one, a listener sends us a quite remarkable email.

On today’s very random selection of emails from our listeners, there’s some advice about using your phone less (plus an update from David about how his plans with that are going), some more offers to help out on the pod, a bit of praise, a pitch to supply Chatabix with some footballer guests and meeting Hale and Pace at the school gates.

David and Joe kick off today’s show with some Traitors chat, as a load of secret Paul Gorton Chatabix episodes have just been posted on our Patreon. So if you're a Traitors fan, do make sure to check them out. Then it’s onto the main topic of the show - a video that Joe’s been sent of a very pleasant birthday lunch he went to recently. But he’s really not happy with his behaviour in it as he recko...

TV Joe is back with another of his now legendary quizzes. And this time, he’s going all Anne Robinson and treating us to a very special Chatabix version of The Weakest Link. But who are all the contestants going to be, we hear you ask? Well, David and Joe have invited along some friends of the pod to battle it out with them. There’s Rosie, Vyvyan, Eyes On Legs, Mezz Coleman, Canal Boat Georgie, Ed...

It’s a very positive start to today’s show as Joe is determined not to let his negativity take over the conversation. And in that spirit, he and David decide to re-book a ticket for the roller coaster ride that Joe failed to go on last year. Full of enthusiasm, he dives straight in and books one for Chessington - before realising he actually needs to go to the bigger ride at Thorpe Park. So he boo...

The brilliantly funny Rob Beckett joins David and Joe to chat about self loathing, mainly.

Well it’s Friday - so it must be another selection of wonderful emails from our Chatabix mailbag. This time, there’s messages from a gardener who loves running, some comments about upsetting Joe, an observation about David’s relationship with stand-up comedy, a couple playing the relocation game, an offer to smoke weed on the pod, a few pub jokes, a rather lame story about a washing machine and a...

It’s a smutty start to today’s pod but once things settle down, Joe returns to his fascination with the pod charts - and what Chatabix’s current position is. Then somewhat bizarrely, the conversation moves onto being naked. And specifically, how comfortable the two of them are with being naked at home. In an attempt to change the subject to something more savoury, they then chat about their variou...
